Watchkeeping while a vessel is in port is a complex task and should be taken just as seriously as duties while at sea. Responsibilities include cargo operations, security of the vessel, consideration of mooring and ballast conditions, ensuring proper monitoring of any visitors, etc. This package shows some of the procedures which should be followed by the officer of the watch to ensure that he fulfils his responsibilities.
